    Instead of lighting a match, and causing an explosion, you could spray air freshener, or something else that has a visible mist, and use that to detect a downdraft.

    Today at my school there was a gas leak in the cafeteria. 1st period PE smelled it and the whole school including the elementary school that was connected to our building had to evacuate immediately. It took about an hour and a half until we were able to go back into the building. I’m just glad that this incident wasn’t fatal like that family. Rip.🙏🏻

  • @jonetech5324
    @jonetech5324 6 лет назад +44

    You know there’s many types of gas leaks I wouldn’t advise telling someone to light a matchup locate Incase the gas leaking isn’t carbon monoxide but Natural gas or propane if you light a match in that you may find the leak and your neighborhood will find it too.

    Where I live is rented... The water heater is locked up in our house but the door is outside. It is locked, we can't have access to it. Also, the alarm is upstairs. We have no say in where it should go. Maybe whoever is in charge of safety should be more a strict with landlords.

    Natural gas is being used for domestic cooking and heating in a large number of countries. It is a fossil fuel and is transported through underground piping networks to the consumers via gas meters at moderate pressure; the pressure is regulated at the distribution and consumer ends. But hazard exists because of its high flammability and heating value or calorific value.
    What if natural gas leaks in your house?
